Understanding Civil Resistance and the Role of the Law,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Defending Civil Resistance Under International Law (Paperback)
Most citizens are clueless to the importance of Law to the success of the Civil Resistance and Civil Rights Movements. The First Amendment right to protest is, of course, the foundation for nonviolent civil resistance. It was used with great skill by Martin Luther King and by Father Philip Berrigan, too, and many others dissenters from government policies over the years. Professor Boyle drives home that point, along with the relevance of International Law to defending defendants in such controversial criminal cases. I also found his trial material on issues concerning nuclear deterrence, nuclear weapons, and Central America, both informative and enlightening. This book should be in the library of every activist, journalist, author, student, and lawyer that cares about the right of dissent in this country.

This review is from: Defending Civil Resistance Under International Law (Paperback)
I liked this book because I am interested in civil rights and like rage against the machine. Basically it gives graphic details about previous civil resistance>>>The native american stand off at wounded knee & it also gives info on what you can do to resist the hands of international law.
